North Riding Brew Pub in Scarborough

An accessible pub with great staff, a good range of music and a cracking atmosphere, plus good hand-pulled ales. I highly recommend.

Great bar, real old fashioned brewpub with their own beer on tap and a decent pool table! Good prices too - well worth a visit and very refreshing after a blast along a windy promenade!

Great traditional pub with good friendly service and atmosphere. See you soon.

We called in en route to an event as we were a bit early. An atmospheric old boozer. Reminds me of places from my youth. I ordered a pint of the Porter (can't recall the actual name I'm afraid) which was absolutely perfect. Unfortunately we were staying about half an hour's drive away, otherwise we could have cheerfully spent an afternoon (or two!) in here.

A fantastic array of beers and ciders brewed on the premises and from their local brewery plus the 'Naughty Tower' with guest beers. If you can't decide between the huge selection on offer you can ask for a free taster! The beers change regularly so you hardly ever see the same beer 'menu'. Its a lovely old fashioned cosy pub. We are posh so we only go in the lounge (🤣) and it's cosy and welcoming with brilliant friendly staff. My only gripe would be that they only seem to put 1 stout or porter on at a time but OMG what amazing stouts and porters they are!

Good night in a nice pub with friendly locals.

Friendly staff and customers plus so nice real ales

Absolutely love this pub, friendly staff, real ales. Highly recommend!

One of the best pubs in the country. Excellent beers and friendly service. Highly recommended 👌

A real ale Mecca. Try before you die. The landlady is a treasure.

Went with friends for a long weekend to Scarborough, primarily to see some cricket which had been on our bucket list. We didn't realise that this fantastic old fashioned pub was only 300 yards from the cricket ground. It was superb, it had 5 well kept cask ales. It is well worth visiting and you can go there during the lunch interval at the cricket.

Great real ale pub, lots of funky bottles as well.

Splendid brewery tap in the north bay close to the cricket ground. Great prices, super tasty ales and a wonderful lady behind the bar. The Cascade, Styrian Wolf and US IPA were all bursting with hoppy goodness. The Gose was tart and spicy and the Strawberry Cheesecake Stout was so good I had seconds. Absolutely worth the short walk from the town centre. If you visit one pub in Scarborough make sure it's the North Riding Brew Pub

My husband loves to call in at this pub when visiting Scarborough. I like the pub, but I don't enjoy going there. I am always thirsty after a day's sightseeing, but I feel ripped off by the price of soft drinks. I'm the designated driver. I enjoy taking my husband to pubs so he can sample the beers but for a soft drink for me it cost nearly as much as his pint for 250ml of coke. It's not on really.

The soft drinks are way too expensive. It cost nearly as much as a pint of beer for 250ml of Coca Cola.

During our recent trip to Scarborough visit this pub numerous times. Good selection of real ales mainly form North Riding brewery hench it being there brew pub. Friendly staff, good atmosphere. There is two room with a pool table in one room

Friendly staff, traditional brewery tap pub. North Riding beers are excellent as always. Good prices.

Great traditional drinking pub. Traditional Ales etc. Also got the usual Ciders and spirits etc.

Quality beer at a good price, knowledgeable and helpful staff, definitely worth a visit when in Scarborough

Didn't have food. Not sure if they serve it.

Man pub not a ladies pub. Real ale 🍺 v good.

Traditional pub with some decent guest ales and friendly staff. Scarbados for the win 🏆

Good location for open air theatre

A nice traditional pub with 4 or 5 hand pulled beers and around the same keg, plus bottles and cans. Nicely spaced out inside and clean. The young woman who served us on Sunday was really friendly and helpful too. Worth a visit if you like decent beer.

Popped in during a rain break at the cricket. Excellent choice of beers . Stopped a while even though the game had restarted.

A proper boozer with real ale and very friendly staff

Great pub, always enjoy coming here on a trip to Scarborough. Good selection of beer, nice atmopshere

Brilliant atmosphere and great range of beers prior to concert at the Open Air Theatre

Terrific beer selection, traditional surroundings, friendly.

Just had drinks. Always liked the brewery, but don't always get them where I live. Glad to visit and have gorgeous beers we wouldn't usually see Beer was well kept and delicious

Great pub with a lovely coastal route up from North beach

Went in before the Paul Heaton concert as he'd put money behind the bar. Had to queue for ages and not much to choose from

Stayed there on the 1st July for the Paul heaton gig. Fab location and great service.

Enjoyable quick visit to North Riding Brew Pub when we visited Scarbrough this week. Clean, small comfortable bar with good selection of beers with friendly bar staff and great service - would recommend visit x

Classic pub, calm, pleasant crowd (older couples, peaceful people from the neighborhood), also fireplace, board games. There is also an occasional homemade dry cider on tap, which is very tasty. It's an easy walk to North Bay. There is a choice between smoking and non-smoking areas, although the two are in contact through the shunt, but the smoke is not felt.

Very food choice of beers,crowded,with Cincert on,but allways call in at North Riding

Very friendly people running and drinking in the pub. The beer seemed to be popular, but we are not beer drinkers. Worth a visit.

A great traditional pub that brews its own beers

Barmaid was friendly excellent range of craft beers that I guess change fairly regularly Snug bar and main bar with pool table

Best beer pub bar none in Scarborough. Nothing else comes close locally to the quality of beer brewed and served here.

I really enjoyed the range and quality of the beer they brew here , the owners were extremely friendly as were the customers. A fine place.

Great selection of beers and ciders

Great little find. Spent a couple of hours here while working away. Excellent beers, tried 3 so far and all great. The honey and almond porter is fantastic and the locals are all roaring with laughter. Definitely drop by

Super pub with great beer. What more do you want!!!????!!!

So many beers to choose from. Great place 👌

Looks a bit grim from outside, but inside it’s great. 2 rooms, at least 4 real ales, welcoming and friendly. The sort of pub where people talk to one another, and the beer is magnificent. It’s in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide, and deservedly so. A must visit if you are in Scarborough.

Visited Saturday 8th April 2023, early/mid afternoon. Absolutely superb, reminds me of our local (Alexander Hotel, Derby) and came highly recommended. Traditional wet led pub with a superb selection of cask beers by North Riding, North Riding Brewpub and a couple of guest, alongside modern craft keg with NEIPA's, sours etc. Easy going, non pretentious decor, great staff and customers immediately put you at ease. Prices are cheap to be honest, £6 for a pint of 7.2% Kernel IPA, £4 for a pint of 5.9% Thornbridge Jaipur, £3.50 for a pint of 4.3% North Riding HBC 522 U.S IPA. Could have happily spent a significant amount of time in there, can't recommend it enough.

Very good, interesting pub and a good range of beers on tap.

Very good, interesting pub and a good range of beers on tap. Nice to see a mix of their own beers, and other breweries'.

Proper old school boozer with bang up to date beer selection.

A fabulous good old fashioned boozer, with absolutely no pretensions. Owned by the team behind North Riding Brewery, it features their cask beers as well as guest beers from other breweries and a good selection of craft beers in cans and bottles.

Great place with plenty of traditional ales. Cosy place to go

Great real pub with real ales, proper local feel

Came here for the first time in a year and it's great to see it has had a much needed face lift inside. Ale was great as always. Nice, friendly staff and a good mix of locals and visitors

Love the beers and ciders. Shame no fire

A real drinkers pub with a great selection of beers.

Very friendly and welcoming staff. The beer is spot on, its always warm and cosy when we visit too.

Friendly pub with good food and beer. Handy for Scarborough cricket ground.

An unassuming pub from the outside, but the welcome and choice of drinks was frankly amazing. I sampled 4 different cask beers from Yorkshire breweries ( 1/3 pint glasses are available) and they were all outstanding, and kept in perfect condition. Frankly some of the best beer I have had in quite a while.

Great choices would recommend to anyone who likes good beer/cider, proper pub with friendly staff

When, just after Covid had eased, my father-in-law told us of a "decent pub" in Scarborough where, even though he'd been insulted by the landlady about how he'd entered the place not observing their strict post-lockdown rules, you could get craft ales that were well kept and priced like it was the 70s my interest was piqued. This was, mind, now over a year ago so when I found myself in the vicinity I decided to go on the hunt. Not difficult to find (camra rarely gush but when a local wins pub of the town/city at least 10 ten times it's not the usual hyperbole) it's a 20 second stride from the cricket club which I guess would mean it's a place that makes a fair living off the sport but to be fair when I entered (last week of October well past peak cricket) there was still a nice buzz about the place with several obvious locals sampling the waters so to speak. A closer ear detected some conversation about the ales (overhearing discussion about where to drink in York I threw in The Phoenix as a starter for 10) as well as the usual daily wind-down from work. Though mostly male clientèle the atmosphere was welcoming and I didn't feel any undue attention raised to my increasingly soft southern tones. It's worth saying now, even if I hadn't been made to feel welcome, the price of this really superbly brewed and kept beer compared to Bristol's made me think very hard about the move back North. Downsides are hard to find (though I could have lived without the landlord's cough that sounded either like he needed to give up his 40 a day habit or else Covid never actually left his premises) and even though microbreweries abound down South this establishment wears a spiky NE crown as king of its kind here in God's own. It might be on the "wrong" (quieter?) side of Scarborough so not worth the trot across town if you're here for just a couple of days on the spa side but remember these places aren't catering for the masses - but you make the choice - lager lout or cask ale tout?

Great beer, changes daily, proper pub.

What an incredible pub! The beer selection was off the charts and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming! I'll definitely be back for another evening soon!

Wonderful ale. Always first class

Great pub selling various beers some brewed on site,dog friendly also!

Best little pub, can only though. Great options available on tap. Had an amazing stout here.

Had a lovely cider in the North riding brew pub

Nice friendly pub serves great beers, wines and great quiz night too

Staff are really knowledgeable about the beers and it was a pleasure to be served. Lots of craft and keg beers.

Stayed here recently on our way to Scotland. Accommodation provided everything we needed and a great location. Great beer and an extremely warm welcome. Even got invited to join the landlords table for the pub quiz. Thanks for a great experience

A proper ale house, stunning selection of excellent ale's, very friendly bar staff , only wish we could have stayed longer....

Great beers at a reasonable price, will definitely visit regularly.

Great selection of real ales on our 2 visits last week and very friendly girl behind the bar

Great stay lovely room hosts stu and Karen always very welcoming also nice pub atmosphere and always a great selection of own brewed beers

Fantastic place to drink excellent cask ales and only a short walk from Scarborough Cricket Club. Great atmosphere and very friendly bar staff.

Nice place good food. Friendly staff

Fantastic selection and good prices.

An excellent pub with friendly staff and excellent beer, deserving of its good reputation and inclusion in the Good Beer Guide!

Very good Real Ale and Real Cider. Friendly staff and locals....

Great selection of ales most of their own brewing and some brewed in-house, with guest ales and ciders. Reasonably priced. Friendly, attentive and efficient staff. Gets very busy during breaks in the cricket. A 'must visit' for real ale fans and definitely worth the trip.

Brilliant place for different ales, ciders, beers plus lovely company by the hosts

Visited this place for the first time. It's definitely a proper pub with a vast selection of well kept beers. The staff and locals all easy to talk to. The day we went was absolutely packed because of the cricket rained off just up the road. Can't wait to visit again.

Nice little pub with a good selection of Real Ales. We had the Coffee Porter which was lovely, we also a took out a few bottles of different flavoured Porters and Stouts to take away. We tried the Pistachio Porter and it was great, looking forward to trying the others. Will visit again when in Scarborough

Great place. Great beers. Staff are good too 👍

Best pints in Scarborough, simple. Even better if you fancy branching out - excellent beer from their brewery and from a far, they were pouring a nice selection from the kernel brewery in July! Enjoy!

A proper, no thrills, cracking pub. The beer selection is vast and well looked after, they even have a few cans and keg options for the crafty folk. It’s comfortable and welcoming, the service is always fantastic and the staff are very knowledgeable. Situated round the corner from the beach and just up the road from Peasholm park which is worth a visit as well. It’s also a great place to take the dog after a nice long run on the beach in the North Bay!

Best pub in Scarborough! Great beer choices and atmosphere, surprisingly good cask and keg list with breweries like Kernel from London (not to mention their own which were very good) - it’s also extremely close to amazing views of North Beach, if that’s your thing.

Very nice. Great beers and friendly service. Worth a visit 👍

Just such a great pub. 3 years since last visit and still marvellous

Very friendly,my husband had a few games of pool with the locals.

Great staff will definitely visit again when we come back to Scarborough.

Superb pub. Traditional. Sensible prices and full pints. Lovely staff. A real ale paradise. In a desert of the mediocre homogenised masses, this is an oasis. ❤

Very friendly, good choice of snacks and drinks. Very clean. Will return!

What can I say, brilliant beers, lovely pub, good service and at the right price. They even had a Cloudwater collaboration. Try it you must

Very friendly pub only use it lunch time landlady and staff very friendly

For real ale tick, for local ale tick, for a traditional English pub tick, selection of other ales tick, for reasonable prices tick. If you want anything more good hunting

Excellent traditional friendly pub! Great choice of very tasty Ales!! Very reasonable priced as well

Only go at lunch time but staff Great and friendly, a must for real ale lovers. Not me but John Smiths is just right.

Great beer and atmosphere, Massive selection of cask and craft beers.👍🏻
